of Burlington who has over 60 different arti- |
Giles, embracing horse powers, moving ma
cnes, heavy wagons pows, harrows, cult |
vators aud in fact about everything a farm
or needs in the line OF his work; his exhibit |
alone would make creditable show for a
respectable fair. Among the new imple-
ments is the black getaway disc harrow !
If one should take common disc or wheel |
harrow and cut out from the outside angu |
lar pieces around it, they would have an
idea of this harrow. We have not seen its
work but it looks as if it must chop and
turn up the land thoroughly. His decorated
Studebaker wagon is Que of the handsOmest
things of the kind ever seen on the grounds.
William Deering 81 Co., Chicago, show
line of harvesting machinery i'll opera +
lion. having a steam engine for motive
power. First in line is their all steel har-
Vester and Irvine binder, cuts SIX feet
swath, binds the grain and delivers the
bundles, eight in place, ready for shook
ing Second, their light reaper and self
rake, which leaves the grain in readiness
for the binder, out of the way of the ma
chine in the next bout, so one Is not under
the necessity of following the machine to
bind. The Deerng giant mower cuts five,
six or seven feet swath. The machine Is
claimed from its peculiar construction to
be rs light draft as any machine made,
aud free from side draft. The ptman
connection is a novel one and very handy
and effective. a spring ingenlously ar
ranged, takes up large portion OF the
friction of the cutter bar on the ground
one secret of its light draft.
Next comes their light mower,
similar to the giant mower in
construction, but lighter and cheaper in
price. A one-horse three-and-a half feet
cut completes their exhibit. This is their
first exhibit in Vermont and their first
year in New England, though long time
in operation. They employ 1000 men, sold
last year 65, 600 machines and sold 10000
Geo pounds of binding Irvine. Adrance,

Adriance mower, new here. A very in
genious arrangement of the cutter bar
holds it in line during the existence OF the
machine.
